Your call brought me down here
It came from inside
And took over my mind
And all that's left behind is dust
An effigy of empathy and trust
How long have you been down here
Pulling the strings
Mimicking shadows
Now torn at the seems
So now I have to know
What are you
Why are you hiding in my mind
What are you
You are not of my kind
Mimicking, mimicking everything I wanted to see
Mimicking, mimicking everything I hoped this would be
Who's direction did I follow
What's the price and what's the cost
I fell for the trick and I've been swallowed whole
Will I live eternally afraid and lost
I believed in all your lies but now I know just what I saw
Bred to mimic, born to kill
My life was stolen by no flaw
You're the monster in the basement
You've been hiding in the dark
I just want to go home
But I fear I've gone too far
You have stolen my life
You've taken my soul
I'm under the knife
Under your control
Now I'm dead on the run
From fantasy and no fun
The lie is coming undone
The lie is coming undone
Through trial and turmoil I kept an eye on the screen
But you controlled every moment in your perfect machine
Lost in a cave with no exit
A maze with no prize
All that's left is the sight of your two evil eyes
What are you
Why are you hiding in my mind
What are you
You are not of my kind
Mimicking, mimicking everything I wanted to see
Mimicking, mimicking everything I hoped this would be
What are you
Why are you hiding in my mind
What are you
You are not of my kind
Mimicking, mimicking everything I hoped this would be
